Newly Added • 1h 29m

Directed by Pat Jackson, Anthony Pelissier, and Harold French • 1951 • United Kingdom
Starring Glynis Johns, Nigel Patrick, Kay Walsh

Following QUARTET and TRIO, this equally captivating anthology film offers three more drolly amusing, morally perceptive stories drawn from the pages of W. Somerset Maugham, who introduces each segment. These tales of two brothers torn apart by money, a spinster’s surprising cruise-ship romance, and a renowned high diver (Glynis Johns) confronting her deepest anxieties brim with the sly wit and shrewd understanding of human nature that gives Maugham’s work its lasting appeal
